The last time this was asked (raised in the same thread by uncle joker which brought us the revised ruling on KotHH vs Burned and Pillaged), the wording "all keywords" or "all stealth" is an absolute, and you cannot regain the keyword no matter how many instances of it you then add. That's what Khudzilin was referring to, although prior to that the accepted ruling was as Ktom stated (that "all" was one instance of each).

However, the wording "each" (which I don't think exists) would be -1 of each, and "loses stealth" would be one instance of the keyword, and would work additively as Ktom described.

Note that Khudzlin's comment and -Istaril's explanation of "all" and "each" from over a year ago are incorrect. When a card says that "all keywords" are lost or gained, only a single instance of each keyword is lost or gained, not as many instances as are necessary to make the card function without (lost) or with (gains) the keyword.

This is outlined in FAQ 4.21:

(4.21) Losing/Gaining "all" Traits or Keywords

If a card gains or loses "all traits," it gains or loses 1 instance of each trait in the game. If a card gains or loses "all keywords," it gains or loses 1 instance of each keyword in the game.

If a card loses "all instances" of a trait or keyword, it loses that trait or keyword an infinite number of times. A card cannot gain "all instances" of a trait or keyword.
